The Evening Supper

Every evening, my father
Sits to eat
Just like an Indian man;
Cross-bending his feet.

Sitting, smiling,
He eats the lovely rice,
Just then the waste rice
Is conveyed; by a mice.

Then suddenly; bells,
The phone’s ring, when
My father was eating; like a king

Then came my mother,
In a plate; holding food,
She started eating,
In a great mood.

Slowly taking morsels,
In the mouth,
Side-by-side, clearing

Everyday’s doubts.
Happily they,
Used to eat,
Then I came before;
Them to meet.

Asking mother,
To take a while,
Still has to go,
Many miles.
